Overseas now, and the US has announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to hold in-person peace talks.
The announcement came after ambassadors from both nations met in Washington with Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State.
Fighting is still continuing between Israel and Hezbollah, which was one of the sticking points in the negotiations for a peace deal in the wider war between Iran, Israel and the US.
Meantime, a trailer was dropped for an upcoming sit-down interview with the US president on Fox News.
Donald Trump claiming Iran wants to make a deal and the US has basically won the war.
And division continues in the US over President Trump's health after his language and posts on social media and his renewed attacks on Pope Leo.

And a wolf that's been missing for almost a week after escaping from a theme park in South Korea is still on the run.
It was spotted earlier this week near the theme park in the city of Daejeon, but despite the deployment of additional police officers, the wolf appears to have escaped the area.
Military drones have also been dispatched.
Now it's time to get into our deep dive on the move by the New South Wales Government to change the way women can access the contraceptive pill.
Joining us in studio is the New South Wales Health Minister, Ryan Park, who explains why pharmacists can now administer the contraceptive pill and responds to some GP concerns that the move is not providing eligible women with the right safeguards.
Minister, thanks so much for joining us.
Tell us about this important announcement for women across New South Wales.
I spoke with a senior GP on 7 News today and she had flagged concerns about this saying that the TGA had recommended this wasn't the right way to go to ensure safeguards were in place.
How can you ensure that when a woman goes into a pharmacist that she gets the right advice and she is made aware of the side effects?
Because like every medication, the contraceptive pill can have side effects.
So in regards to when I go and see a GP, because we know there are firstly massive issues with A, being able to afford to see a GP because many don't bulk bill now and also being able to find an appointment.
But when I do sit down with my GP, that GP may know my history and they also have a conversation about sexual health, about other complications.
Do you think some women could slip through the cracks with this system?
